Frequently Asked Questions
What is the foreclosure process in New Jersey?
Foreclosure in New Jersey is a judicial process that starts when the lender files a complaint in Superior Court. You have 35 days from the date of service to file an answer. If you do not respond, the lender can request a default judgment and eventually a sheriff sale.
How long does a foreclosure take in New Jersey?
A foreclosure in New Jersey typically takes 9 to 12 months from the filing of the complaint to the sheriff sale. However, the timeline can be longer if you file for bankruptcy or if the court is backlogged.
Can I stop a foreclosure in New Jersey after a sheriff sale?
Yes, you may have the right to redeem the property within 10 days after the sheriff sale by paying the full amount owed plus costs. After that period, the sale is final and you lose ownership.
